Co-inoculation maintains yields and lowers N2O emission by affecting rhizosphere bacterial diversity in common bean grown on a C-rich clayey Ferralsol by Pablo Schulman, Marcia Thais de Melo Carvalho, Raquel Neves de Mello, Beata Emoke Madari, Pedro Luiz Oliveira de Almeida Machado, Enderson Petronio de Brito Ferreira, Tatiana Maris Ferraresi, Tereza Cristina de Oliveira Borba, Rodrigo Mendes, Edson Hirose, Wilker Alves de Araujo, Matheus Mentone de Britto Siqueira, Ryan Rodrigues da Silva, Pedro Augusto de Oliveira Morais

“…A trial was established within a 20-year-old integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) over the 2019/2020 (Y1) and 2021/2022 (Y2) crop years. Soil and plant variables were assessed throughout both years. N2O–N fluxes were measured using manual static chambers targeting days following co-inoculation and N fertilization applications, while the 16S rRNA microbiome composition was assessed by metabarcoding samples collected during flowering. …”
